Emergency

Sewage coming up from the floor drain?

Why it happens in Danielson

The Town of Killingly's Water Pollution Control Facility page lists (860) 779-5392 for a sanitary sewer emergency. Danielson is a borough inside Killingly, and its sewage is treated at that plant.

What to try, and when to call us

If sewage is rising in the basement, stop all water use, keep people off the wet floor, and call the town line to rule out the main. If the street is clear, the clog is in your own line and we're the next call.

What causes it in Danielson

Census estimates show about 66% of Danielson homes predate 1960, and the median home dates to 1951. In 2024 the town put a moratorium on new connections because the sewer system and plant were nearing capacity, as reported by the Norwich Bulletin.

What you can do right now

When two fixtures back up together, the shared drain line is blocked. Plungers won't reach it. A cable from the cleanout will.

What to Do While You Wait in Danielson

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
